Williams, No. 17 UNC keep rolling in 59-21 win vs

Even though North Carolina entered the season at No. 1, the Tar Heels faced a few questions.

Meeks, a 6-foot-10, 260-pound junior forward, proved too much for Temple to handle wherever he went.

Three weeks after losing 58-0 at home to Clemson in a game that led to the firing of coach Al Golden, the Hurricanes trailed 31-0 at halftime, and then watched the Tar Heels quickly tack on two more touchdowns to make it 45-0 with 10:26 left in the third.

North Carolina’s size overwhelmed Temple inside.

Still, the Tar Heels struggled to put away the Stags as they couldn’t hit free throws or establish the offense.

Nico Clareth led Siena (0-2) with 21 points, while Marquis Wright added 17. Miami has 18 turnovers gained and eight lost.

The second half was a time for freshman Skal Labissiere to shine.

Maite Cazorla finished with nine points and nine assists in her first collegiate game.

Coming into the season, Fran Dumphy and the rest of the team were desperately in search of someone to fill the shoes of Will Cummings. If it defeats the Hurricanes and Pitt loses at Duke, it can claim a share of the Coastal division title.

“That’s something that I’m always going to look to do, is attack”, Allen said. Brice Johnson and Joel Berry II both also had double digit points, scoring 16 and 14, respectively. Kullerkann’s double-digit kill streak continues to live, now with 17 straight and 25 on the season.

Hurricanes take on the 8-1 (5-0) Tar Heels in a game that absolutely must have to keep any ACCCG hopes alive. “A couple shots went down, started feeling good, so I tried to carry that momentum throughout the time that I was in the game”. The only other college game last night that promised to offer a decent matchup was the meeting between ninth-ranked Gonzaga and ACC member Pittsburgh, which was played in Japan.

Wichita State point guard Fred VanVleet started, but played three minutes before deciding not to push a strained left hamstring.

Kat Cooper, a fifth-year transfer from Boston College, added 13 points off the bench.

Seven Tar Heel players scored at least eight points in a balanced workman-like effort against Fairfield’s zone defense.

Carolina used a career-high 17 points from Nate Britt who put together arguably his best game of his career.

The Ducks were still ahead, by as many as 10, leading 73-63 with six minutes remaining.

“This team offensively feels like they can do either one (run or pass)”, Coach Larry Fedora said.

Guard Bronson Koenig missed a jumper with four seconds left that would have tied the game.

It’s just not all that fair sometimes and Friday night was one of those times for Temple.

Fairfield was getting into the lane pretty easily in the first half. “Obi would have helped a little bit”. He also had five assists.

The Sooners made a big jump after beating Baylor 44-34 in Waco, Texas.

The Bears, who shot 64.3 percent from the field, got a combined 60 points from its five starters.

The game was part of the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame Classic, though it wasn’t part of the event’s elimination rounds.
